Cedar wood is often considered best suited for outdoor furniture or for log homes. But these six cedar coffee tables prove that it can also be used to make gorgeous indoor furniture that doesn’t only belong in a log house. Although cedar is considered a soft wood, it can be given a durable finish that also highlights its unique graining and natural wood knots. It’s sturdy, not prone to warping or sagging and will stand the test of time.

Our Picks
1
Live Edge Cedar Coffee Table
Loon Peak®
Measuring 48” long by 23” deep and 20” high, this live edge cedar coffee table weighs about 90 lbs. The planed top is made from solid red cedar and is given a gloss finish. The pedestal base is carved from a cedar tree trunk and finished in a creamy-colored stain.
Designer Advice:
Each of these live edge cedar coffee tables is made to order and requires four weeks of build time. Crafted from substantial and sturdy 3”-6” logs, each table will be one of a kind due to variability in the logs. As well, the finished measurements and weight may vary slightly. Partial assembly is required by using a screwdriver and power drill (not included with the table).

Farmhouse Cedar Coffee Table
Birch Lane™
This farmhouse coffee table is made from lightweight Mindi cedar wood and weighs only 50 lbs. It measures 41” long by 23.6” deep and stands 18'' high. A bottom shelf is slatted and provides extra storage below the tabletop.
Designer Advice:
A natural wash gives this cedar coffee table its distressed white and gray finish. If you’d like it to be a different color, first give the table a quick, light sanding which will cause the wood fibers to accept a stain or paint color easily. Once your color is applied, you may want to seal the table with a varnish or clear coat. If you use chalk paint, finish with a coat of polyurethane.

Drum Shaped Cedar Coffee Table
Birch Lane™
Crafted from reclaimed and solid cedar wood, this coffee table has a natural finish that showcases the variations in the wood grain and knots. It has a clean-lined, round drum silhouette that tapers off toward the bottom.
Designer Advice:
Two tones of cedar wood are used in this drum-shaped cedar coffee table. The striping is less obvious than the pictures show, and the finish color is slightly darker. This table is not stain- or scratch-resistant, so extra care will need to be taken to prevent damage. It measures 39” round, is 17.5” tall and can support up to 200 lbs.

Rustic Cedar Coffee Table
Loon Peak®
Using reclaimed cedar planks for its tabletop and bottom shelf, this rustic coffee table has pine wood legs that are painted black. The table comes fully assembled and weighs 35 lbs. It measures 40” long by 18” wide and is 16” tall. There is two inches of clearance below the bottom shelf.
Designer Advice:
Designed in a rustic style, this cedar coffee table shows signs of wear, along with knots, wood grain and natural imperfections. Because it’s been made with repurposed wood, the colors may vary from piece to piece. While the cedar planks are rustic, the style of the table can suit a wide variety of decor styles, including contemporary and industrial.
